This webinar is critical because it brings together all the "go-to-market" strategies you need to transition from simply being "referral-ready" to actively receiving consistent referrals and becoming a recognized extension of the medical team.

Here’s a sneak peek at the vital topics we’ll cover in this comprehensive session:

Day 25: Educating Your Community on "The Missing Link in Recovery"

Understanding the Topic: Too often, clients are discharged from physical therapy or chiropractic care without a clear plan for what comes next, leading to potential relapse or stalled progress. Your role as a Medical Exercise Professional (MedExPRO) is critical in bridging this gap between rehab and full independence. This day is about stepping up and educating both the public and healthcare providers on this vital missing link.

Key Points We’ll Review: We’ll discuss how to create a simple blog post or short educational video titled “What Happens After Rehab? The Missing Link in Recovery”. We’ll explain what happens after PT ends, why some clients relapse or stop progressing, how medical exercise training (MET) fills this gap, the kinds of clients who benefit, and the measurable outcomes a well-managed MET program can produce.

Why this is important to attend: This foundational step ensures that both potential clients and, more importantly, healthcare providers, understand the critical value of MET and how you specifically address a significant unmet need in the healthcare continuum.

Day 26: Crafting Effective Provider Follow-Up Letters

Understanding the Topic: Building referrals isn't a one-time event; it requires consistency, clear communication, and demonstrated results. This day focuses on the essential step of following up with providers you’ve met or connected with, using a concise, well-written letter or email that includes a client success story.

Key Points We’ll Review: We’ll guide you on what to include in your follow-up correspondence: a quick "thank you" for connecting, a recap of your conversation, a brief, anonymized client success story that highlights your work and outcomes, and a clear invitation for further collaboration. We’ll also share tips like keeping it under one page, using professional yet personable language, and focusing on functional outcomes rather than just exercise details.

Why this is important to attend: A timely and professional follow-up leaves a lasting positive impression and opens the door for future opportunities, even if the provider isn't immediately ready to refer.

Day 27: Presenting Your Value at Medical Offices

Understanding the Topic: Beyond introductions and follow-ups, gaining the opportunity to show providers what you do is invaluable. This day challenges you to request a presentation slot at a medical office, whether it’s a quick "Lunch & Learn" or a 10-minute slot during a staff meeting.

Key Points We’ll Review: We’ll prepare you on how to structure your presentation to educate providers on what Medical Exercise Training is, clarify your scope within the care continuum, and showcase your professionalism, outcomes, and clear referral process. Your presentation should include your credentials, the role of MET in recovery, brief case studies demonstrating functional outcomes, how you communicate with referring providers, examples of compliant documentation, and a clear explanation of your referral process and the client experience.

Why this is important to attend: Most providers simply don't know MET exists, and a well-prepared, in-person presentation is a powerful way to change that perception and answer their crucial question: "What happens after therapy ends?".

Days 28 & 29: Request Feedback + Build a Referral Follow-Up System

Understanding the Topic: Referrals are cultivated by design, not by accident. This two-day segment focuses on strengthening your professional relationships and systematizing your practice’s growth. Requesting Feedback involves actively seeking input from referral partners after a client interaction or meeting. Building a Referral Follow-Up System means creating a repeatable process to stay consistently top-of-mind with your network.

Key Points We’ll Review: For feedback, we’ll discuss what questions to ask (e.g., client feedback, documentation helpfulness, improvement areas) and how this demonstrates your professionalism and commitment to collaboration, while opening doors for future referrals. For the follow-up system, we'll outline essential components like a digital or paper log of contacts and meetings, communication dates, a 30/60/90-day check-in schedule, pre-written follow-up email templates, and quarterly outcome summaries.

Why this is important to attend: Consistently requesting feedback helps you identify and address any gaps, fostering stronger trust. A robust, consistent follow-up system ensures you remain top-of-mind with providers, leading to a steady stream of referrals without constant manual effort.

Day 30: Solidify Your Role as a Referral Partner

Understanding the Topic: This is the culmination of your "Referral Ready" journey. It's about stepping into the identity you've built: a referral-ready professional, a reliable extension of the provider team, and a vital part of the care continuum. You are no longer just ready, you are needed.

Key Points We’ll Review: We’ll help you master the "final toolkit" to confidently present to providers:

• What is Medical Exercise Training? Clearly articulate that MET is a structured, non-clinical exercise program designed to improve function and prevent re-injury, bridging the gap between rehab and full independence.
• Sample Protocol & Documentation: Showcase your organized systems for assessment summaries, session logs, and progress reports, along with a sample condition-specific protocol. Emphasize your focus on safety, progression, and communication.
• Present a Case Study: Share a concise, powerful story that demonstrates client success and highlights outcomes like improved gait, function, pain reduction, and activity resumption, all within the context of collaboration with a provider.
• Make the Ask: Learn how to invite providers to refer clients who have completed therapy but still need structured progression, offer to meet or present to their staff, and provide simple referral tools like a referral form and a short info packet.

Why this is important to attend: This session synthesizes all your efforts, allowing you to confidently embody and present your value as an indispensable partner in the medical recovery process, ensuring you’re not just ready for referrals, but actively sought after.

Don't miss this crucial final step in transforming your medical exercise practice into a consistent source of physician referrals.
